Tell him to do what my son did in Leeds.
Volunteer to work on the stalls. That way they get free entry and are supervised to a certain extent. Did I ever suggest that to him? Moi? Never!

I'm really hoping the rain sorts itself out by tomorrow. D's supposed to be headlining at a local outdoor festival tomorrow evening!!

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
We've got the current wave of rain on the go up here - and 'wave' is the right word for it. Hot and sticky atmosphere.
I don't know about worst Summer ever. As I keep telling the guys at the cricket club, the joy of England is that if you don't like the weather it will soon change

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
It's been very wet here all day. Finally stopped about 5pm. The roads around the village are flooded in many places. The river has overflowed it's banks and the water running down the fields into it looks like another raging river. Luckily were on a hill so no problems except a little leak in the garden room, a different leak from last weeks.
I had to go out in it and the visibility should have been enough to tell drivers they needed lights and to slow down. Driving at silly speeds and creating bow waves throwing up water and stones is idiotic.
Husband had to take a detour on the way home because one of the lanes had been closed because of flooding. Lots of accidents and backed up traffic on main road at rush hour this evening.
When will it stop?!!

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
Poured all day here and I was dreading driving along the M6 and through Birmingham this evening, but it cleared up just in time and the roads were pretty clear as we were going a bit later this week.
The forecasters said it is set to stay wet like this for 3 or 4 more weeks!

....plus the one from Oz saying he'd really like to stay in an English country Inn - must be missing the UK!.... and staying near Esher whilst in UK.....
....... guess where we are going????
...... Yes Puzzlebrains to the rescue.........the Premier Inn in Kings Langley (Bunnylump country)....... with thoughts of visting the Ashridge Estate and maybe getting up that tower - plus a car tour of some of the Midsommer murders villages and possibly a visit to that lovely pub where we had lunch...........THANK YOU BUNNYLUMP!!!

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
Oooh sounds like lots of fun! Hope you have a lovely time!! Actually, I don't know if this helps, but I think the Bridgewater Arms does accommodation if that makes your life any easier...
Fingers crossed that the weather holds out for you all! And if you spot some muddy drowned rats on their way back from a village festival in Wigginton...deny all knowledge!

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
I hope the weather is a bit kinder for you down south than it is being for us northerners Chazzie. I have never seen so many wet & soggy people ever. At least we don't have to worry about the garden needing watered.
We rarely hear rain no matter where we are in the house. This morning Colin thought I was running a bath because the sound of it was so loud.

Oh so do we - it's meant to last until at least September here.
Re: Today I've mostly bin...

bin to Polesden Lacey (think that's how you spell it?) and seen a spitfire fly-past
bin fruit picking

And got home again.

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
Was that Kew the music Laura? (We went last year. )
Re: Today I've mostly bin...
Yes it was. My sister works at Kew (not Lilsis, the other one), so she gets to find out about what's going on, and fortunately my school's mystery trip was this Friday, so I wasn't at school, so it all worked out rather nicely!
Re: Today I've mostly bin...
That sounds a busy day! I bet you were exhausted after all that.
